Controlled Release of Substituted Benzole and Naphthoic Acids Using Carbopol ® Gels: Measurement of Drug Concentration Profiles and Correlation to Release Rate Kinetics

Purpose. The objective of this study is to correlate drug release mechanism with measured drug concentration profiles in gel layers of Carbopol^® matrices containing mesalamine or benzoic acid. Methods. Release rate experiments with Carbopol^® matrices were performed using a rotating disk apparatus. Matrices were frozen and the gel layer in the matrices was sliced using a microtome in a cryostat. Drug concentration profiles were determined by direct measurement of the concentration of the drug in the gel slices. The pH of the slices was measured using microelectrodes, and water content was measured by Karl Fisher titration. Results. The concentration gradient in mesalamine matrices decreased over time and correlated with square root of time release rate kinetics. The concentration profiles of benzoic acid were unchanged over time and correlated with zero order release rate kinetics. Carbopol gel layers were highly hydrated (93–95% water). Gel layers in matrices with mesalamine had a more alkaline microenvironmental pH. This higher pH resulted in increased growth of the thickness of the gel layer and a reduction drug diffusivity in comparison to benzoic acid matrices. Conclusions. The release rate kinetics of mesalamine and benzoic acid correlated to the measured concentration profiles. The shape of the concentration profiles is determined by the rate of growth of the Carbopol^® gel layer and drug diffusivity.

Active surfactant in pharyngeal aspirates of term neonates: lipid biochemistry and surface tension function

Alveolar surfactant is well known for its ability to reduce minimal surface tension at the alveolar air–liquid interface to values below 5 mN m^?1. In addition, it has been suggested that surfactant is also present in the airways, particularly in the perinatal period. We isolated surfactant from pharyngeal aspirates obtained from 33 neonates immediately after delivery and analysed it for both phospholipid (PL) composition and surface tension function. PL classes and phosphatidylcholine (PC) molecular species were determined by normal and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. Static and dynamic surface properties of the surfactant were studied in a pulsating bubble surfactometer. Sample volume was 1.3 ± 0.5 mL (mean ± SD) with a total amount of 2.5 ± 1.3 μmol of PL and a concentration of 2.1 ± 1.0 μmol mL^?1 PL. HPLC analyses of PL classes revealed a composition identical with surfactant prepared from alveolar washes, i.e. PC 83.6 ± 2.1%, sphingomyelin 1.4 ± 0.5%, phosphatidylglycerol 8.1 ± 1.6%, phosphatidylethanolamine 2.1 ± 0.5% and phosphatidylinositol 2.6 ± 1.1%. Thin-layer chromatography showed almost identical results but was more time-consuming and needed more material for analysis. Analysis of PC molecular species revealed a composition typical of human alveolar surfactant with 54.7 ± 3.9% dipalmitoyl PC, 10.3 ± 1.9% palmitoyloleoyl PC and 9.1 ± 1.5% palmitoylmyristoyl PC. Minimal surface tension fell to values below 5 mN m^?1 within 5 min of cycling in all subjects. The methods used in this study allowed for complete PL and surface tension analyses of surfactant obtained during routine pharyngeal suctioning after delivery at term. Whether they are also applicable to preterm neonates with respiratory distress remains to be determined.     

Membrane Transporters in Drug Disposition

Many clinically used drugs and their metabolites as well as a variety of environmental toxins are organic cations at physiologic pH. Secretion in the renal proximal tubule constitutes a major pathway in the elimination of organic cations. In this report, the results of studies recently performed in this laboratory are presented. First, the molecular cloning of a novel splice variant of organic cation transporter from rat kidney (rOCTIA) is described. The functional characteristics of the transporter are discussed along with the implications of RNA splicing in enhancing transporter diversity. Second, the molecular cloning of the first human organic cation transporter (hOCTI) is described. Distinct interspecies differences in the tissue distribution and function of this transporter is presented. These studies have paved the way for elucidating molecular structure function relationships of organic cation transporters and for determining their physiologic role in drug absorption and elimination. The cloned transporters can be used in mammalian expression systems for screening candidate compounds identified during drug discovery and development and in the in vivo prediction of the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic agents.     

Using the polymerase chain reaction to maintain DNA probe inventories in clinical and diagnostic laboratories

Clinical and diagnostic DNA laboratories must maintain a large inventory of DNA probes for use in hybridization studies. The preparation of plasmid DNA and isolation of DNA fragments for use as probes in both expensive and time consuming. We present here a rapid and relatively inexpensive method of producing large amounts of DNA fragments from stocks, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Our experience over the past year using this technique has been very positive and we believe many laboratories could benefit by employing such a labor-saving approach to maintaining DNA probes. The technique uses the bacteriophage M13 DNA sequencing primers to amplify cloned inserts contained in commonly used plasmid vectors. As examples, we illustrate the use of DNA produced in this manner as probes for linkage analysis of the fragile X syndrome and for detection of deletions in the Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene. We have also found that at least two probes can be amplified in the same PCR reaction, allowing the detection of two different restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) simultaneously. It should be possible for laboratories to devise strategies particular to their individual needs using more than one DNA probe produced in the same PCR reaction to detect RFLP's. Such strategies would need only to consider that the predicted alleles of the multiple polymorphisms do not migrate to the same position during electrophoresis. Stocks of single or multiple probes produced by the PCR could then be maintained for more rapid Southern analyses.
